Carefully read the following account of aerobic
respiration and then fill in the blanks:
cytoplasm
In the first stages of respiration which occurs in the ………………………………………..
of the cell,
glucose is ………………………………..
to pyruvic acid. Glycolysis yields ………………………….
oxidised
ATP
and a reduced coenzyme.
acetyl CoA
The pyruvic acid then combines with coenzyme A to form ……………………………………..
which
enters the Kreb’s cycle which occurs in the ………………………………………….

………………………………………………..
mitochondria
During these reactions hydrogen atoms are removed from a series of intermediate compounds by
enzymes called ……………………………………
dehydrogenases . The hydrogen atoms are passed to carriers such as

An experiment was carried out to measure the rate at which a sample of mitochondria used
oxygen under different conditions.
The mitochondria were placed in a well oxygenated liquid with a water potential equal to the
water potential of their contents.
At time A, an end-product of glycolysis was added to the liquid. At times B, C and D, ADP was
added.
The same amount of ADP was added each time.
The results of this experiment are shown in the graph below:

a) Explain why the liquid used in the experiment should
have the same water potential as the contents of the
mitochondria
…………………………………………………………………
• to ensure there is no net movement of water/osmosis
…………………………………………………………………
• that would cause a dilution/concentration of the matrix contents
…………………………………………………………………
• or damage to mitochondria/bursting of organelle
…………………………………………………………………

b) (i) State the name of the substance that was added at A
pyruvate/pyruvic acid
………………………………………………………………
[1]
(ii) Name the two stages of the respiratory process that
take place in the mitochondria
……………………………………………………………
link reaction; Kreb’s cycle; ETC; oxidative phosphorylation
………………………………………………………….
[2]
(iii) State the role of oxygen in these respiratory
processes
………………………………………………………………
to reoxidise the last substance/last cytochrome in the ETC
……………………………………………………..……….
[1]
c) Explain the result of adding ADP at the following points on the graph;
(i) B and C
……………………………………………………………………………
• oxidative phosphorylation can occur/ADP converted to ATP
• which requires oxygen
……………………………………………………………………………
• to react with hydrogen to form water
• less occurs at C than B because amount of reduced coenzymes is less/ORA
